ask if you can still change it (without production delay).

Why you didn´t order it?

I use about 35 to 38L of fuel in a 40 minute track session with my 3.8L Cayman - it has a 65L tank and its a pain to have to be refuled after every session.

For the street, I don't think it's an issue.

If you can change it...Do It. I run through the big tank of fuel in three sessions and the warning light is annoying. There is no downside to the larger tank.

Regret, Standard tank too small. Frequent refueling.

My turbo S has the small tank. My GT3 has the big tank.

The small tank is a PAIN IN THE ***! So many more frequent refueling trips. I would definitely order the larger tank if I could. No question.

Some people like to refuel often so they can look at their cars and talk to others about their car. I don't. Or maybe you want less weight on track with a full tank to obtain the DE 1st place trophy?

Kidding aside. Go for the larger tank if you can.

You will not regret the big tank but will do with the small one, unless u love pumping gas.

The small tank exists for one reason and has only one benefit: to enable a lower headline number on the spec sheet. It's simply a trick to make the car seem lighter than it actually is.

You can get the same benefit by short-filling the larger tank. I'd not only regret, I'd also be annoyed at Porsche for trying to fool its customers in the first place.
